Real! My Mom did that with a toddler who was starting a fuss and she stopped right away to stare at my mom with such intensity it felt like she could actually understand her words! My mom was explaining to her why her mom was putting her back in her stroller. She then said to me that it was very important to explain things to young kids so that they understand we are not there to displease them just for fun, that there is a reason behind everything and that adults often think they are too young to understand, which is a mistake, because treating them like intelligent beings makes them learn faster!
Baby: "You're saying because I'm a girl I'm supposed to know about who the right one is for you? Who's the right one for me!? Wait, I don't want to know from you."
That was actually how I was raised. They didn't baby talk. They said they taught me to raise my finger like I was calling for a waiter whenever I wanted milk so that I didn't have to cry for attention. It apparently worked. And when I started talking, they said I never baby talked. They even had home videos of me at 2yrs old arguing about whether the sport was golf instead of tennis (I was wrong, it was tennis) like I was an adult, talking to equals, and expecting my opinion to hold weight. I was even expected to make promises and give my word was held accountable for it. They said I regressed once I started making friends my own age and turned into a big baby during my teens. They still bemoan about it.😂
I did it with my infant sisters many years ago, when I realised they would stop crying and start engaging with you like this 😮😮😮 They looked so hilarious and cute.
I did this with my niece. She would have times when she would absolutely NOT STOP CRYING. "Whats the matter with you? Need a change? No, you're clean and dry. Hungry? You just ate. The bank raised the interest on your mortgage by 5% and now you don't know whether you'll be able to pay all your bills, your boss is a jerk, you lost hours at work, your kids never call unless they want money and you're not sure but you think your husband is cheating on you?..... or maybe you're just tired, but being tired makes you upset, and you're too upset to sleep?" The COMPLETE attention she gave to the crap I was saying got her to the point where she forgot to cry because she was too occupied with my nonsense.

It's very healthy. It's perfectly ok to treat kids like kids, but there is a direct correlation to children who were talked to like healthy adults, (In a good way) and children who grow up with excellent social skills.
I've done this with my two kids...no baby talk, just normal conversation...you're raising adults, not children. That's not to say you don't have fun, but without the goo, goo, gaa, gaa.😅
Yeah I've heard people say that, but there is a reason evolutionary why people talk differently to kids, in every culture. Research shows exaggerated intonation and slower pace make it easier for babies to distinguish sounds and structure of language. Babies are more likely to pay attention to high pitched and sing song nature of baby talk. It's kind of akin to showing babies documentaries instead of shows geared towards early development.
@@richardbrown6594 well, my kids are grown with kids and grandkids of their own...we haven't done so bad...we had fun and their kids and grandkids have fun, and, yes, they all can speak proper English🥰
I was always like this with my daughter. At 2, I would explain at length the concept of aerodynamic downforce, or wether or not the Germans should have launched operation Barbarossa. Don't get me wrong, there were teaparties, tickles and cuddles, but literally the next second after blowing a raspberry on her stomach, i'd be like, 'aren't Radiohead good. You don't get craftsmanship in songs like that nowadays.'
Awesome parenting 😎 .... I'm the same ... Just not so much about aerodynamic downforce ... More about the great vowel shift, how to transpose music into various keys and facts about space light takes 8mins from the sun to reach us
Just...don't assume your little one is listening, understands or cares. I am a science teacher teacher and I talk to a loooot of parents who are like 'my kid is really great at physics, I've been telling them about quantum physics since they were a toddler' Like, yeah no doubt you were, but unless your kid is some kinds supergenius and somehow got a k-12 maths and physics education before two, it was just word salad to them, and at most they might have an easier time learning the concepts if/when they reach them at that stage of their education. Your child is still having trouble with year 7 science because they are consistently not turning in work and goofing off in class 🙄
This is fantastic for kids developmentally. Speaking to and around a baby in a variety of tones develops the language center of their brains much faster than only hearing baby-talk.
I always hated baby talk and didn’t do it with my son or daughter. They enjoy goo goo and gah gah, etc. but they actually do listen to you when you talk like a grown up. They might not know what you’re saying but it’s a different, more curious kind of attention you get.
Did this to my niece one time and she started babbling and gesticulating like an old woman. In baby talk. But it looked like she had a full speech so I just nodded and kept answering like she was telling me some good gossip. Now she keeps looking for me whenever we visit, and she's way more articulate in two mixed languages with no grammar mistakes.
When my baby cousins babbled at me a while back I responded “oh, well you have to pay taxes. I know, but there’s no loopholes when it comes to property tax. I don’t know man, IRS took down Capone” And everyone got a kick out of it
I've done this many times. Lol I would talk to them about political news, astronomy etc. in a serious way. The look on their faces is always hilarious.
@@noqueq9003Immaturity is something you want to grow out of as soon as possible, it helps you see the world more clearly and improves your life overall
Meh, I except zero maturity until my son hits adulthood and has life experience. I love holding more serious convos with him but I don’t parent him like he’s mature (he’s 1 1/2),
The baby in purple *clearly* was trying to high-five you over the lack of wanting to raise kids. You left it hanging, no wonder it was so disheartened.
I believe hearing actual speech instead of baby talk is actually helpful for the child’s speech development. Also that baby is unbearable levels of adorable ❤
This is literally how I talk to babies😭I didn’t even know it was good for their development, I just found baby talk annoying so I decided to do the exact opposite
Babies need to be communicated on their level. Make eye contact, and show interest. Use simply language, shorten sentences, and speak slowly, deliberately and expressionally. Baby talk can be used once in a while with babies. It does help them connect verbal expressions. Once the child is a toddler longer sentences and bigger words can be used. Language is developmental. Each phase needs to be added to. Start slow and build. Remember we can't multiply until we learn to count, and then add. Its the same with language. We start with sounds, words, phrases and work up to sentences.
As an only child, I affirm and admire your approach ! I had been brought up by 2 formerly rich kid parents already in their thirties. They're very long gone; but, they helped condition and develop me superbly for the adult world. Keep on your path with your adorable, sweetest wittle 🍼 💕 ba-by !
😂😅 Reading these comments are hilarious AF .... I TRIED this with my child, I TRIED this with my niece, I TRIED this with the baby I was watching .... WTF .... Like it's an experiment. It's REALLY the ONLY way. WHY would you teach your child made up words to replace the actual word ?? That doesn't even make sense😒
My earliest memories are from before I could talk and I remember understanding everything ppl were saying, i just couldn't speak yet. And I think that's all babies tbh.
Every time my friends kid comes near me I look him dead in the eye and say “dude.. put a shirt on” knowing damn well he’s wearing a shirt and a diaper. Eventually he caught on, and says it right back 😂
I communicated this way most of the time with my kids. As a result they took advantage in kindergarden and primary-school. Unwanted sideeffect; they felt like knowing all.😅
I had conversations like this with my niece when she was that age. She was completely engaged and mumbled back and everything. I think she was trying to give me advice.
Baby animals learn to animal by mimicking older animals. They will also be older animals someday, even though they are babies now. Treating them like a normal human with a functioning brain sets them up for so much more success later. 😊
